Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
